Barack Hussein Obama Opposes new Senate Sanctions against Iran. Israel will Take Out Iran's Missiles Before They Get Off the Ground

The White House was reportedly opposed to a new round of sanctions against Iran that the Senate approved in its latest efforts to mount economic pressure on the Islamic Republic.

On Thursday night, US senators voted 94-0 to a new round of sanctions against Iran’s energy, port, shipping and shipbuilding sectors in an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) and its chief Ezzatollah Zarghami are also the target of the new bans.

....

A report published by Foreign Policy on Friday, however, reveals that the White House was totally against the new measure and conveyed its message to senators through its National Security Council Spokesman Tommy Vietor hours before the amendment was passed.

"As we focus with our partners on effectively implementing these efforts, we believe additional authorities now threaten to undercut these efforts," Vietor said.

"We also have concerns with some of the formulations as currently drafted in the text and want to work through them with our congressional partners to make the law more effective and consistent with the current sanctions law to ensure we don't undercut our success to date," he added.

An e-mail sent from the White House to several Senate Democrats on Thursday evening mentions in detail the overriding concerns of the administration about the new sanctions, the report said.

One of the concerns, according to the e-mail, is that the approved measure would tie the hands of the administration in the possible talks with Iran in which Washington may consider the option of delaying the application of the embargoes or negating them.

The e-mail also argues that the sanctions should only target those persons who are involved in Iran's missile and nuclear programs, an issue the Senate has overlooked in its latest move.

TEHRAN (FNA)- The White House announced its opposition to a new round of Iran sanctions that the Senate unanimously approved Friday, in the latest instance of Congress pushing for more aggressive punitive measures on Iran than the administration deems prudent.

Iranians will fire missiles if they need to in retaliation, and will do so by the thousands.

that means each drones needs to be carrying how many missiles....

use your head

in addition, Israel couldn't even stop all of the rockets and missiles from Gaza how are they going to stop Irans, it will be a lot missiles, fired simultaneously and at more specific targets

good luck with that Israel.

So many Aussie dummies, so little time. And you can tell many of them by the pathetic little Tom Cruise pic they apparently think is a real substitute for an actual factual arguement or refutation. I guess that's how things work Down Under...

1) Heron TP does NOT cost 35 million dollars. Even if that's what Israel would charge their customers, IDF would get it for much cheaper. Actual prices are not available, but it's a fact that most drones are SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than either fighter jets or helicopters. The drones are also far less visible on radars and even if shot down, you don't lose human pilots or have a hostage situation.

2) Iran does NOT have "1,000's" of missiles that can reach Israel. At most, the Shahab-3 stockpile estimate is in the 300 range ---- and more than 1/2 of them were destroyed in that "mysterious" blast in November 2011 (that also killed Iran's missile Chief, ooops)

3) Remember, long-range missiles like Shahab-3 and Sejil are NOT like your small Grad rockets --- that is, big missile launchers are few & very difficult to hide from specialized modern military satellites and human intelligence on the ground. So most of Iran's long-range missiles indeed WILL be destroyed on the ground --- just like Hezbollah's and Hamas's in 2006, 2008, 2012. Except where IDF only used like 5% of its firepower against them, my guess is against Iran's nuke program & IRGC installations, Israel will dust off some of its futuristic, classified stuff. Heron TP aka "Eitan" is actually fairly simple tech compared to what Israel is holding back. Allegedly.

4) At most, the few 10 Iraninan long-range that will be fired at Israel in time..... will be intercepted by

-Arrow-3 (it's undergoing advanced trials as we speak)-American Aegis SM-3 -Arrow-2 & Patriot-PAC will handle any leakage from Arrow-3 & Aegis-Magic Wand will handle if anything semi-miraculaously "leaks" through the other 2 tiers.

Not to mention, Shehab missiles are not very accurate.

By comparison, when Saddam Hussein fired 42 advanced Russian Scud-D missiles at heavily populated Tel Aviv.... only 1 Israeli died. And even then it was debatable as to the true cause of death (I think heart attack)

The more Israelis die, the highest the chance Israel EMP's or Neutron-Bombs the fuck out of Iran, sending it to stone age. So if I were you, I would root for a speedy and relatively blood-less resolution of Iranian Issue.

The Heron TP II drone, delivered to the Israel Air Force in February 2010 and reportedly slated to attack the Iranian missiles, is a fourth-generation, all-weather craft with a cruising altitude of 14,000 meters.

With a wingspan of 26 meters, the size of a Boeing 737, it can carry nearly 5 tons of payload and remain aloft for 36 hours. Its range is classified, but Israel Aerospace Industries, which developed the craft, has previously said its linkup to satellite communication enables it to fly great distances and reach any country in the region.

Iranians will fire missiles if they need to in retaliation, and will do so by the thousands.
